    Manual load/update software for Uconnect 8.4 (2018 RAM 1500 Laramie)?

    Is there a way to manually download the software for my Uconnect 8.4 in my 2018 RAM 1500 Laramie? The radio seems to have lost all its settings (though it still has the SirriusXM subscription info in the settings page, despite SirriusXM not even showing up on the home screen). Also. HVAC...

    2018 Ecodiesel and losing audio/climate

    Crazy… Thanks to previous owner or dealer, the wiring harness plug for DEF system failed, shorting the DEF pump. In the process of diagnosing, I disconnected battery (several times). Service DEF, see dealer was showing with countdown. Drive to dealership. That morning, climate controls in...

    Tire Saga Solved

    Well- tire saga is solved. After shop test fit 35x12.5-20 and even with the level, the tire wall was against the UCA…. And then him (regional manager) going through every system he could- and making phone calls… because supply chain is so janky… The Falken Wildpeak AT3W (LT295-60-20) that...

    RC 2” Level + new Tires and more!

    Been a busy week for my 5th Gen! Last Saturday, had the RC 2” lift (spacers) put on and also got new Falken Wildpeak A/T w3 tires LT295/60-20. All went well, even if slightly longer than expected. Leaving, I noticed a rattle from front passenger side- sounded puke a lose shock. So pulled...

    Speedometer Calibration?

    Had a RC level kit installed Saturday, and upgraded tires to Wildpeak A/Tw3 in LT295 60-20. I'm pretty happy so far... BUT... According to my calculations, the speedo is now approximately 5.9% off. My understanding is that this impacts the computer's calculations for a myriad of things...

    2020 RAM 1500 Bighorn 8.4 - time keeps jumping 1 hour ahead

    Not sure what's going on, but the time indicated keeps jumping forward an hour. Sometimes, if I connect my iPhone, the time will go back to correct, sometimes not. I have changed the setting regarding the time synchronized with satellite - and it happens regardless of if that setting is on or...

    I keep seeing pop up occasionally that some are using a different filter than the normal-spec OEM filter. I see reference to SRT filters, etc... 2020 Ram 1500 Bighorn Crew Cab 5.7 HEMI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Lift newbie. 2014 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4?

    I'm about ready to level my 2014. Really, I don't "off road" much beyond gravel and dirt roads, but I am ready for my 4x4 to not look so much like a 4x2! I've looked around at options. It really boils down to most suggest a 2.5 inch lift/level. One shop I spoke with quoted this (copy/pasted)...

    2014 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 Big Horn Gas tank capacity?

    I stopped for gas this morning just as the range dropped from 30 miles to just the big gas pump logo. I don't usually let it get so low... Anyway, outside temperature was 75 degrees while pumping gasoline. When pump finally stopped, it indicated over 27 gallons! In fact I just tapped the handle...

    Difference between 2012 and 2014 tailgate?

    My 2014 Big Horn Crew Cab didn't come with a bedliner. Found one locally for sale by a guy who just traded off his '12 crew cab Anyway. I just installed the tailgate piece on my '14 and while the holes lined up just fine, the bottom portion appears to be a couple inches from sitting like the...

    Check Gas cap light, now check engine?

    My dash warning to "check gas cap" came in this past week. I checked the cap, taking it off and on several times. Light didn't go off. This afternoon, the check engine light came on, so I used my Bluetooth OBDII dongle and my pad to pull the code(s). Interestingly, two different apps showed...

    A/C blower loud noise

    Ok - so I have had my 2013 Ram 1500 Express Crew Cab for a little over two months now. I overall am very happy with it... BUT: The second or third day after purchase, I turned up the a/c (actually, it was just on vent) to the highest setting and a noise came out of the area behind the lower...

    2013 crew cab speakers (Express)?

    Ok- so my hearing isn't what it use to be. Even with hearing aids, the basic audio system just isn't getting it done for me in my 2013 express crew cab. I'm thinking of just upgrading the speakers. Where are they all (doors &?). What sizes? And are there any weird issues to deal with?
